that should be a good primer ... you may want to take the blackball ferry
to victoria and start your excursion or use that as a way to go home after
.. which ever direction you choose you will also want to go to tofino etc
on vancouver island ...
lots of ferries to take and so little time
regards and email me if you find your self in powell river
or call 604 . 414. 6266
we may even clean up the house a little :)
regards
